7 The works of his hands are truth and justice; All his precepts are sure.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
The Rock, his work is perfect; For all his ways are justice: A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is he.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne: Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
The sum of thy word is truth; And every one of thy righteous ordinances `endureth' for ever.
if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the ages. Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.
